The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 423 Not Gullible

Shawn was flattered, but being as smart as he was, he quickly sensed that something was off. Coupled with his previous unpleasant experiences, he immediately became wary. "Are you trying to trick me?" Vera looked innocent. "How could I? I just wanted to share some good food with you, Shawn."

Shawn pointed to his face. "Do I look that gullible?"

Vera shook her head. "Who could ever fool you?"

Shawn became even more suspicious.

Before long, Molly appeared, holding onto one of Shawn's arms. "Shawn, I'll go eat with you. Don't worry-having me around means Vera won't try to pull anything on you."

Shawn had Molly on his left and Vera on his right.

He immediately turned to look at Randall. Randall met Shawn's gaze but quickly looked away, picking up a nearby vase and pretending to admire it.

'Oh no, they're definitely up to something again!' Shawn thought to himself and firmly refused, "I'm not eating, and I'm not going with you."

He grabbed his cane and quickly fled the dining room.

Patrick also sensed something was off. He turned to look at Randall, who was still pretending to admire the vase, then at Molly and Vera. Patrick squinted, already on guard.

He ordered, "Randall, come with me to the study."

Vera immediately said, "Randall, come eat with me."

Patrick walked up to Vera with a smile, bent down slightly, and looked at her face. "Let Molly eat with you."

Vera pouted and shook her head. "No, I want Randall to eat with me."

Patrick said, "I need him for something."

You won't even let Randall eat with me? Patrick, we've only been married for less than a year, and you're already ignoring me?" Vera preemptively
